The Foo Fighters recently stopped by New York City for their Garage Tour (they won't be back in the area until September, when they play... New Jersey). And with new tours (especially when it's been 2.5 years since your last), come new riders. Perhaps being scared off by the Smoking Gun's ability to get their hands on these things (hello, Katy Perry), they created a fun 52-page coloring book rider. Which, of course, the Smoking Gun also got a hold of; they say it "reaches new heights of absurdist brilliance." Even with the coloring book format, however, you still get the idea that the Foo Fighters are maybe a little too particular about their ice.

The Foo Fighters Have An Amazing Coloring Book Rider
FEMA Pulls 9/11 Coloring Book
Today's lesson in what not to post on the internet is provided by our trusted friends at FEMA. For years the organization says it gave out thousands of copies of "A Scary Thing Happened" around the globe without a single complaint about the coloring book designed to help children cope with tragedy. But now FEMA has pulled it only a week after putting it up on its homepage due to complaints about color-in depictions of the 9/11 attacks. Upon seeing what the Daily News calls a "stomach-churning image," one local man told the paper, "I feel disrespected. I feel like I should punch the person who did this in the face." It turns out the person wants to deck is Marlys Jentoft, a 68-year-old grandmother of 10, who volunteers for the Red Cross, church and crime victims groups. She told The Smoking Gun, "I feel like it was happening in the world and kids saw it. It is life."
